Paper is a commodity of thin material
produced by the amalgamation of fibers,
typically vegetable fibers composed of
cellulose, which are subsequently held together
by hydrogen bonding.

Formed from wood pulp or plant fiber, paper is
chiefly used for written communication.

Paper, whether produced in the modern factory or
by the most careful, delicate hand methods, is
made up of connected fibers.

Manufacturing Process

Probably
half of the fiber used for paper today comes from wood that has
been purposely harvested. The remaining material comes from wood
fiber from sawmills, recycled newspaper, some vegetable matter,
and recycled cloth.
